Your grandchildren would be retired in 100 years.
If you can't figure out generations, I don't put much weight in your economic planning.

Actually that's pretty flawed since you're assuming that life expectancy and retirement age stays the same but the generations thing wasn't the main point of my argument. Does it really make a difference if we're taking steps for secure Alberta's future for your grandkids or your great grandkids? Your whole viewpoint is that you only care about your employment, right now, today.
That's the definition of short sighted.
